They're at least £11.99 minus costs richer than they were before yesterday.

I've secured it to the bike, ready for rapid deployment. Gremlins will be sprayed red.

If you keep on adding tat to that bike of yours, soon it will weigh in heavier than my Argos folding bike made of girders.

I did buy a 12V buck converter and replacement switches with the intention of making a latching 12V 2A horn, rather than a momentary one, to act as a continuous panic alarm, and more stuff for indicators... but I'll probably never get around to it. Another 5kg doesn't matter when you inject anabolic steroids regularly. Your bike frame will probably outlive you.

And yet you dissed my Argos princess for being a little on the tubby side.....

I said 25kg isn't very heavy! Quite honestly, anything under 45kg is fine by me, if it can climb hills and tow 90kg trailers up those hills.

Not very heavy: 25kg, including 2.35kg battery.

any bike over 20kg is a tank

Man caught with pepper spray in holster claims he didn’t realise what was in the can

"“On stopping, police approached him and a search revealed a yellow and black canister marked ‘pepper spray’ held in a holster on the accused’s right hip.

“The canister was later forensically analysed and found to be a metal aerosol canister in a black plastic shroud and found to be in working order.

“The can contained the irritant agent nonivamide…a noxious substance.”"

"“I did not realise it was actually pepper spray as when I purchased this from Amazon it was named a Feffer Farb criminal identifier spray."

"“I am very thankful of the light sentence the sheriff gave me and I will fully comply with the hours given in a timely manner.”"

Mental, I wonder how many times he's had that chain in the nuts...?

When I was a kid was a fan of 'The Master' TV show with Lee Van Cleef. We made shuriken stars that were dangerous as ****, 4 really heavy duty sturdy razor blades and black tape was all it took to make one with 8 very sharp points that would stick in to wood from distance.

We made nunchucks too from old thick broom handles and some sturdy link metal from garage, never ended well though so progressed to setting fire to tennis balls liberated from local tennis club soaked in petrol, they burned for minutes and we tried to hit them with stars.

Also made for some interesting keepie-up in the dark.
